Lyrics

I'm a striver, from up on Striver's Row And I'm jivin' the very best to know But hard times got things topsy-turvy Oh, Lady Luck is the meanest chick in town I know it because she brought me down Hard times got things topsy-turvy You know, once I had lots and lots of money And I used to dress up so debonair But now I'm on my uppers And tough luck may be, but it won't get in my hair I'm a striver, from up on Striver's Row And I'm jivin' the very best to know But hard times got things topsy-turvy (Instrumental break) Aw, Jack I'm sort of beat my chance now, you, so You better hit the road 'cause things are still topsy-turvy Things are gonna be down on the turf now, Jack 'cause things are still topsy-turvy The Great White Way is a little beat But things are still topsy-turvy
